The following is from a forum post I made recently. I've been involved for some time with the "Whole Tobacco Alkaloid" concept, and when reading back through my blog, I find I've spoken with a certainty that's probably misplaced... or at least overly-confident. We think we know a lot of things, we convince ourselves of this, but what do we really know about vaping when it doesn't yet have a long-term history?

Here's a topic I've addressed a number of times in various threads, but I thought I might discuss it here.

What can one expect from soaking tobacco in various solvents (alcohol, PG, VG) to get some real tobacco flavor and/or nicotine?

As far as getting flavor, that's a pretty easy question. If you soak and get a result that you like (either as a liquid in itself or as a flavor additive to regular eliquid) and you don't mind the extra wear and tear on your attys, you've

Madame Psychosis graciously agreed to summarize some of the major observations and conclusions arrived at via a group effort in several very long and sometimes tedious threads, particularly the "so-we-getting-we-not-nicotine" thread (often referred to as the "are we getting it or not" thread). This thread is worth a read in it's own right, but is very long.

I have a broken evic that was lying around so i decided to make a box mod out of it. I looked around for some wiring info for the switches and didn't find any so i made one for anyone who is interested. i will be posting more when i get further into the project.

first take apart the broken evic. it wont be pretty. just try not to break the board. then pull the 2 switches off. there will be a momentary on the back which is fire. and a spdt on the bottom that was for the control ring.

[B]The low resistance atomizer destroyed my battery.[/B]

Right, so I've been using my Joye eGo-T system for quite some time. I like it alright. I do with the flavour output was better, but the thing still works rather well. I thought to remedy the flavour problem by getting a low resistance atomizer.

BIG MISTAKE.

It didn't increase the flavour, at all. It did, however, decrease the amount of time needed to take a full pull of vapor.

I've been gone for a while. It's been rough. I've been sick, and I even started smoking, again! I started smoking [I]after [/I]I became sick, so don't get snarky! Y'all know how it is. One thing after another, and you're going back to old habits, no matter now nasty and stupid they are. Part of the problem is that I tried to jump to a low level of nicotine that I was not ready for. Gobs of weark-..., 4.5 mg nicotine, and my loose rolling tobacco is laughing at me in the corner.

Right. I still love it. Now, one of my atomizers is being uppity. It just doesn't like to wick properly. Yeah, yeah, I've cleaned it, in precisely the same manner that I use with the [I]other [/I]atomizer that came with my kit. Strangely enough, that other atomizer seems to work better, the older it gets, even though it definitely runs hot.

I decided to order from Vicki at Cignot.com, again. Why? Because she damned ROCKS. *ahem* Anyway, I noticed they have new low-resistance

Right. I've been waiting for these last two weeks to pass. Now I can put up the two-week review. I figure that if there were going to be any problems with this unit, they would have come out by now. You remember my rant about the Boge Leo? Heh. I hated that thing. Piece of Crap.

Well, my Joye Ego-T has it's good points and bad points. The bad points are easily fixed, so they're more like mild inconveniences that I've had to learn to deal with. I'm going to list these, along
